How To Be A Better Vegan

Come meet Joshua Entis as he asks is there more to being Vegan than we think? How do we as individuals make a difference? For most people, Veganism begins as a diet choice, allowing them to experience a range of health benefits. But, is Veganism even about health? Have we been allowing the inherent selfish nature of human beings to force us to believe what we have been told? Joshua's journey started out this way, and over the last 2 years his mission has been to help others define what it means to be Vegan, build confidence and take mass action for the animals by tapping into the true potential within. Veganism is more than a diet choice, it is an ethical framework, that when followed, will change the world.

Join Joshua, animal rights activist, organizer for Anonymous for the Voiceless and The Save Movement, on his Change Makers Tour and see how we can personally make a difference in creating a different world.
